US Navy moves second aircraft carrier near Pyongyang

The Nimitz-class carrier will join the USS Carl Vinson in the region for dual training exercises in a show of force amid rising tensions with Pyongyang.

The USS Ronald Reagan departed for the Korean Peninsula on Tuesday after completing a maintenance period and sea trials in its homeport of Yokosuka, Japan, according to the Navy.

South Korea's military officials said the reclusive North apparently stands ready to conduct another nuclear test.

Following a period of increased activity in missile testing in April, President Trump toldReuters that: "There is a chance that we could end up having a major, major conflict with North Korea".

Trump later said he would be "honored" to meet North Korean leader Kim Jong Un under "the right circumstances".
